I've gotten so many cookbooks as gifts the past 2 years because my friends and family know I LOVE to cook. So today I'm going to show you how to make one of my favorites, blueberry muffins, or as I like to call them... Bluzeberry Moofins. They are cooler that way.
Here's what you'll need
- 4 tbs unsalted butter
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup superfine sugar
- finely grated zest of 1 lemon (optional)
- 1 cup of plain yogurt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 9oz (250g) blueberries
- mixing bowl
- sieve
- wooden spoon
- 2 soup spoons
- 12-cup muffin pan and paper liners
Step One
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celcius. Line your 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. I prefer colorful liners or liners with cool designs on them. Melt the butter in a pan, then set aside to cool. Sift the flour into a bowl, and mix in the baking powder, sugar, and lemon zest.
Step Two
Make a well in the center of the flour. Mix the yogurt, eggs, and cooled melted butter together in a large bowl, then pour into the dry ingredients.
Step Three
Add the blueberries. Mix until just combined, but don't overmix or the muffins will be heavy and gross.
Step Four
Spoon evenly into the paper liners and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and springy. Cool the pan for 5 minutes.
I got this recipe from my DK complete Children's Cookbook. Hope you like your muffins! See you soon.
